Origin: place of attachment Insertion: where it bends Belly: the prominent flesh part of the skeletal muscle Agonist: front side; produces motion Antagonist: back side; resting the motion ex) elbox extension Synergist: an organ that cooperates with another or others to produce or enhance an effect Fixator: muscles that stabilize the origin of the prime mover/agonist so it can wore more efficiently Rectus: fibers run parallel to the midline Transverse: fibers run perpindicular to the midline Oblique: fibers run diagonally to the midline Maximus: largest Minimus: smallest Longus: longest Brevis: shortest Magnus: large Major: thick muscle Minor: thin muscle Vastus: largest Biceps: 2 origins Triceps: 3 origins Quadriceps: 4 origins Deltoid: triangular shape Trapezius: trapezoid shape Serratus: saw-toothed shape Rhomboid:diamond shape Orbicularis: a circular muscle Abductor: move bone away from the midline
Adductor: move bone toward the midline Flexor: decreases the angle at the joint Extensor: increases the angle at the joint Levator: produces an upward movement Depressor: produces a downward movement Supinator: turns the palm upward Pronator: turns the palm downward
